BlueStamp Raspberry Pi Object Following Robot

The object following robot was designed during my time at BlueStamp Engineering. The goal of the project was to create a robot that could track any object based on its color. The robot utilizes a Raspberry Pi to run the program, a camera to detect and track the object based on a custom color mask, and a ultrasonic sensor to measure the distance between the object and the robot. To track a new object, there is a button on the chassis, and when clicked, the Raspberry Pi runs an algorithm to create a new color mask based on the object in front of the robot. This color mask allows the robot to see where the object is, and another piece of code tracks the center of that detected object to make sure the object is always in front of the robot. The ultrasonic sensor, meanwhile, is used to keep a constant distance to the object.
